Critic Scores

94Antonio Galloni

A crystalline wine for the year, the 2011 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is built on precision, nuance and delineation, all qualities that are rare for the vintage. Medium in body, but with superb persistence on the palate, the 2011 will appeal most to readers who appreciate tightly wound, focused Barolos. In some years, San Lorenzo is a bit more virile, but in 2011 the more feminine side of this site comes through. Rose petal, cinnamon and sweet red berries linger on the understated finish. With time in the glass, the 2011 puts on a little more weight, but readers should expect a restrained expression of San Lorenzo in this vintage.

93Monica Larner

I love the exuberant richness of this wine. The 2011 Barolo San Lorenzo di Verduno is all about fruit. The bouquet reveals tones of black cherry, prune and plum. Those black fruit tones are evenly balanced out with spice, tar and licorice. The mouthfeel shows volume and depth. Drink Date 2018 - 2030

92Kerin O'Keefe

Enticing scents of wild rose, violet, perfumed berry and a whiff of aromatic herb unfold on this full-bodied red. The firm palate offers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper, clove and anise framed in assertive but ripe tannins and fresh acidity. Better after 2019.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Fratelli Alessandria, a historic Barolo family estate, sources Nebbiolo from the San Lorenzo cru vineyard in La Morra, a prime Barolo locality known for wines combining power with elegance. The 2011 vintage presented moderate ripeness conditions—a cooler year across Piedmont, ideal for preserving Nebbiolo's delicate aromatics and bright acidity within a structured tannin framework. San Lorenzo's south-southwest exposure and clay-limestone soils produced grapes with good phenolic ripeness despite the vintage's cooler profile. Traditional hillside farming methods and mature vines contributed concentration.

Vinification

Nebbiolo harvested from San Lorenzo underwent fermentation in large wooden vats without temperature control, reflecting traditional Barolo methods. Extended maceration lasted 30+ days, allowing slow extraction of colour and tannin that characterise Barolo's structure. Following fermentation, the wine aged in large Slovenian oak casks (botti) for approximately two years, building secondary complexity whilst preserving varietal character. The wine then rested in bottle for additional time before commercial release, allowing tannins to integrate and the wine to gain secondary complexity.

About this Wine

Piedmont

Piedmont (Piemonte in Italian) is probably the finest wine region in all of Italy, and has laid claim to this since Roman times. It has a continental climate influenced by the surrounding Alps and Ligurian Apennines, and is located in the north-west of Italy, bordering both France and Switzerland.

Piedmont has only 1% of the total vineyards of Bordeaux and 15% that of Burgundy. So while a top Chateaux may produce upwards of 35,000 cases a year, leading Barolo producers will often make only 800 cases. More than half of its vineyards are registered with DOC designations and many are in the Apennine or Alpine foothills, from 300-600m above sea level. Most of the wines are produced by smaller family estates rather than larger holdings.

Piedmont has 46 different DOC and four DOCG regions, and produces the largest number of well known, world-recognized, prize-winning wines. The most famous would have to be Barolo or Barbaresco, whose power comes from the Nebbiolo grape variety. The most widely planted red variety is Barbera although Dolcetto, Muscat, Shiraz and Bonarda are also produced.

The white variety most well known is Moscato, which is often made into frizzante (bubbly) wines known as Asti. Cortese is made into the popular Gavi wines, and smaller amounts of Chardonnay and high quality Sparkling are also produced in the far north of Piedmont.
